Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 86 King Xiutu and King Hunxie meet up

Under the description of the Xiongnu leader party, Huo Qubing and others began to understand the importance of worshiping the golden man in the sky, and the audience also learned what it meant to worship the golden man in the sky!

It turns out that the Xiutu tribe of the Xiongnu who occupied Hexi held an indispensable annual ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven.

The Huns had already formed a nature worship system centered on belief in "Heaven".

On that day, the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu personally presided over the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. King Xiutu led the tribesmen to gather here. The ceremony was solemn and sacred.

On the tall and magnificent altar, the sacrifices and sacrificial vessels that had been prepared were neatly placed, and a white horse was offered as a sacrifice on the table.

In addition, in the middle is enshrined the "Golden Man Sacrificing Heaven", which is regarded as a treasure by the Huns.

Sacrifice to heaven is a major event for the Xiongnu. Like other ethnic groups, the Xiongnu also has its own totems and objects of worship, which serve as the spiritual symbol or spiritual sustenance of the nation.

As a grassland nomadic people in northern China in ancient times, the Xiongnu controlled vast areas such as the present-day Mongolian Plateau and the northwest of the Han Dynasty.
They established a powerful Hun Empire to compete with the Central Plains Dynasty.

The Huns would worship their ancestors, heaven, earth, ghosts and gods every year in the first lunar month, spring and autumn at the palace of Chanyu in Lincheng.
The purpose was to strengthen the rule of the Shanyu over the Xiongnu as the spokesperson of the supreme god.

Through the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the great chanyu is given rationality and authority, and the tribes are made to obey the great chanyu, thereby realizing the functions of social control and maintaining social stability.

In addition, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is estimated to include prayers for happiness in life and victory in foreign wars, such as luxuriant pastures, prosperous livestock, abundant hunting, less wind and snow, tribal unity, etc.

In terms of religious belief, the Huns practiced polytheistic worship of heaven and earth, ancestor worship, and reverence for ghosts and gods.

This heaven-sacrifice ceremony is in line with the ideas of "reverence for heaven and earth, unity of heaven and man" of primitive religions, Huang-Lao Taoism and Shamanism.

The Golden Man is an indispensable sacrificial artifact. Even if you are King Xiutu, you cannot bear the responsibility of losing the artifact!
Just like that, King Xiutu, as if struck by lightning, listened to the reports of his subordinates in despair.

In the camp, King Xiutu was walking back and forth, feeling depressed. He was so restless that he had punished a large number of his subordinates and even killed several slaves!
Just then, someone came to report:
"Your Majesty, King Hunxie is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, King Hunxie rushed in and said aggressively:

"I heard that Huo Qubing died at your place. How was your loss?"

King Xiutu immediately said with a guilty conscience:

"I didn't suffer much loss. I ordered people to withdraw from the royal city in advance, leaving only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled for Huo Qubing to wait for the warriors of the tribe to gather. I am determined to regain my position!"

He did not suffer much loss. King Hunxie suffered the most in this battle. Although King Xiutu's city was also captured, his tribe was saved and almost no one died.

Except...he lost the golden man used for sacrifice, he didn't seem to have any loss!

King Xiutu even prayed secretly: Maybe the Han people were blind and didn't find it at all, or they didn't know the goods after they found it. Then he would look for it when he goes back and see if he can get it back!
"Hey! This grassland belongs to us Huns after all. How can we let him, a yellow-haired boy, come and leave whenever he wants?"

King Hunxie was unwilling to give up. Not only did he lose a son, but his tribe also suffered heavy losses. The Han army directly captured his city. He did not have heavy troops at hand, so he could only retreat hastily!

The two majestic Xiongnu royal cities actually became guest houses where Huo Qubing's army could leave and come as they pleased.King Hunxie was certainly not satisfied with this result.

King Xiutu felt the same way. If Huo Qubing was just allowed to walk away like this,
Then he no longer needs to be the king. Even if the tribes have no objections, the Chanyu will not forgive himself.

Because of this, at this moment, King Hunxie and King Xiutu are burdened with a heavy task of "rectifying justice":
That is, before Huo Qubing returns to the Han Dynasty, he must fight a good turnaround to save his face.

King Xiutu: It seems that we must take back the Golden Man of Sacrifice to Heaven!
The two looked at each other, with blazing fire in their eyes!

"You and I, brothers, join forces to crush this damn Huo Qubing to death!"

"Okay! The whole army goes out!"

Next, for Huo Qubing!

The most dangerous or the strongest enemy encountered in the Hexi Corridor is here!
King Hunxie and the main force of King Xiutu!

Behind them, the Huns had [-] soldiers and horses, their cold swords were fierce, and they were filled with a murderous atmosphere!

The Han army and the Xiongnu were clearly separated, and the sky was exaggerating the momentum before the war. Although they were tens or hundreds of miles apart,

But the sky screen seemed to be editing them in front of them. Huo Qubing's avatar was confronting the two princes of the Huns, and a storm was coming!

The Han army's 1 troops faced the Huns' [-] elite troops!

After taking the Xiutu King's City, the Han army tidied up and repaired it immediately!
The whole army once again waited quietly for Huo Qubing to give orders, and everyone's eyes were turned to Huo Qubing!

"According to the report from the spies, King Hunxie led a main force of more than [-] people to ambush in Gaolan Mountain near Zhangye, and decided to have a decisive battle with our army again.

And behind us, there are tens of thousands of pursuing troops, and King Xiutu is leading his men to chase them quickly!
If King Hunxie cannot be eliminated, it will be difficult for our army to escape. What do you think? "Someone in the crowd immediately raised their arms and shouted, and others followed suit!

"Dead fight! Dead fight! Dead fight!"

Huo Qubing looked at the troops he had poured out with victory, smiled brightly, and said loudly:
"Okay, I won't return it until I break the Xiongnu!"

"If you don't break the Xiongnu, I swear you won't return it!!!"

The three armies were shaken and shouted in unison. Their morale was high and their morale was ready.

Great Qin.

Young Master Fusu said with admiration:
"Father, we are thousands of miles deep into the enemy's territory, with no supplies and no backup. We have to face the enemy's [-] elite troops directly. Do we, the Qin Army, have any chance of winning?"

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng shook his head and said:
"If we were to defend the city, I, the Qin Dynasty, could still fight with strong bows and crossbows, but look at the so-called city, how could it stop the wolf-like and tiger-like Huns?

I really can't believe that the Huns in the north can wreak havoc to such an extent. The troubles will be endless! "

"Then General Huo is in danger?"

Young Master Fusu asked worriedly?
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng smiled and said:
"No, Huo Qubing is a legendary general. He is good at creating miracles. This kind of person cannot be ignored with common sense!"

Big man.

The situation on the sky changed, and everyone saw the situation of the Han army!
Unlike before, Huo Qubing was already surrounded by the Huns.

In an instant, there was silence in the entire Weiyang Palace.

Li Guang's eyes widened.

Zhang Qian gasped.

Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He's hands shook.

Wei Qing's face darkened.

All the civil servants seemed to be collectively constipated.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che wiped his eyes, looked at the sky in disbelief and said:

"Why are you so brave? You dare to fight them with just 1 people?
Wei Qing, how many soldiers and horses do King Hunxie and King Xiutu have? "

Wei Qing cupped his hands and replied:

"Your Majesty, almost all the Huns are soldiers. Young and strong men can fight if they mount their horses.

It is conservatively estimated that there are 6 or 10,000 armored men. If we add those herdsmen, we can make up at least [-]+ people! "

Li Guang couldn't help but pointed at Huo Qubing and said:
"You're so brave, you're looking for death, ew!"

He was not worried about Huo Qubing, but worried about his son Li Gan!

Before, I thought about letting my son follow Huo Qubing to make contributions, but now that I think about it, I might as well forget it!

You have a life to accomplish this kind of merit, but you don’t have a life to come back to receive it!

Huo Qubing surrendered and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general has his own sense of proportion. The general knows the art of war, and he will definitely give the Huns a good look!"

Liu Che's face instantly dropped.

Even though he was a great emperor, he still wanted to curse at this moment.

What do you call this self-discipline? ? ?

Does this reassure me? ? ?

It’s okay for 1 people to run to their hinterland, but they actually plan to fight a decisive battle with 10,000 armored men and [-]+ herdsmen?If an old man eats arsenic, is he seeking death?
